Bumble Bee and Berry

This artwork has been a joy to draw. I’ve created several main hero patterns and designed coordinating patterns in several colors. The style is a whimsical sophistication with bows, bright pink and yellow flowers, blue green contrasts, and big-eyed bumblebees. My patterns are versatile in size and are perfect for projects from quilting to wallpaper.Continue reading “Bumble Bee and Berry”

Little Red Dinghy

Finding your JOY in every day is important. Finding your joy in life is a journey. We find joy on the water when possible, because Michigan summers are fleeting. Boating in our dinghy is pretty easy going. Jasmine is excited to jump from the dock to boat. She grew out of her doggie PFD, soContinue reading “Little Red Dinghy”

Butterfly Art and Gemstone Dreams

Sometimes, an idea for artwork just comes to me while I’m waking up in the morning. But, I can’t wait for that… and have to rely on what catches my eye…when they’re open. For inspiration, I have many favorite things saved to my Pinterest account, including insects, amazing graphic butterflies, and gemstones for reference material.Continue reading “Butterfly Art and Gemstone Dreams”

I was happy to be a part of an excursion the Norwegian, Encore offered. We docked, and then boarded a large tour bus. Rolling through town,Continue reading “Dominican Beauty”

Periwinkle Gemstones and Lizards

It coordinated with the curtains in our bedroom. Yes, dad has a design eye too. The inspiration for this artwork was aContinue reading “Periwinkle Gemstones and Lizards”

Seahorse Damask Love

This artwork is inspired by western ornament and sea life. The pale, dusty peach shade imparts a vintage feel. I love the blue version, but I decided to enter my original design into the Spoonflower design challenge. The seahorse is styled after my Art Deco Frog, which is the most popular fabric and wallpaper inContinue reading “Seahorse Damask Love”

Cool Cat Face

Today was a beautiful day to be outside with temps in the 70’s, especially for November! It was warmer than the last time we were up north in September. An Indian Summer has blessed us again. In September, I was sewing more drawstring backpacks using artwork from my Spoonflower shop. This animal print design isContinue reading “Cool Cat Face”
